This is a super difficult game! In a good way, of course. It seemed like the word length (and thus, difficulty) was a little arbitrary, and it would make more sense to me for words to get harder over time and depending on how far you move left or right. I found myself getting sucked into the game super fast, desparate to make it past the first few sections. The style is pretty good; only noticable issue I found was the lack of anti-aliasing. The sound was there, too, but it seemed strangely quiet - could just be my speakers, but either way, very well done on this game!

Hi there! That's actually exactly how the difficulty works. The further the lane is, the harder the pool of words are. The pools have 3-4 letters, 4-5 letters, 5-6 letters, 6-7 letters, 7-8 letters, and 8-9 letters. So one lane over could be three or four letters where 4 lanes over would be 6-7 letters. Then Every other time you get hit the starting difficulty increases by one. So instead of one lane being 3-4 letters, it's 4-5 letters. I didn't scale the word difficulty by distance but probably will when I revisit the game. Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
